Basically, i know i am a guy or rather male myself. But I wanna ask something. Do you think that MOST/MANY GUYS ARE STUPID??? Stupid in a way that not literally stupid but 'actionly' stupid. Well i know it's kind of hard to understand what i mean cause i dont really understand what i am saying too right now :p. Anyway, i will give out a general example instead.
Girls: They think before they act and always have a backup plan before doing something.
Guys: They just do what they want without thinking the consequences or the side effect.
Do you support what i said? I will give you some examples i've come through.
Guys==>
1. Both of my friends are gossiping about someone. And they gossip it loudly. Sweatz... i've told them that the volume of their gossiping can be heard by me and they just 'sweep' me off by saying 'no we're not talking about him/her/whatever'. Fine i thought. Then, they are giving nicknames to people like calling my friends Britney, Madonna or whatever. (BTW, if you're reading this, then no offense cause i'm just giving example and i did not say who you are.) And lolz...i know who are they lol although every time they denied who the person is. I cant tell you how they say but then it's SUPER OBVIOUS.
2. Again my friend gossiped about me and i was treated like an outcast for a while. I do not know why in the first place but then lolz...again obvious actions shows why i was treated as an outcast. Urm...they somehow discriminate me over some stupid thing but at last it turns out to be bogus. Can't they like do thing more secretly???
3. One of my friends bought some porno and was caught by his mom. Where'd he kept it? Well stupid enough, in his drawer. Sweatz...his father own a big house or rather bungalow and he's stupid enough to keep in his drawer and the worst of all, how come he doesnt come up with a backup plan. Like, 'In case my parents or whosoever found my porn, i should do this and that'.
While for the girls ==>
1. One of my friends is a lesbian and she came from a very strict family. Well, we're like best friend so, we tell each other many or maybe everything lolz. So this is what happened. She's not allowed to have cellphone(s) but her urmz... 'boyfriend' bought her a cellphone. Once, her mom founds out that she has a cellphone and she asked whose cellphone is this and his dad immediately grab from her and check all the stuffs inside. Found some love messages and what's her excuse? Well, she tells her parents that sweatz...the cellphone is mine and i am her lover and we're breaking up. And for an extra, she says that she denied my love but I'm persistent and as a result, she didn't get scolded because it's so called 'my fault'. But i do not get scolded either lolz. Because i did some explanations too lolz...
2. This one is a bit funny but then it's true. She has a boyfriend and other than that she has many friends. But because she wants her status to be 'single and available', so she didn't tell anyone that she has a boyfriend. But she do tell me lolz...cause she's my god sister. Then how do they meet? Well, again i was used. Everyone or rather her friends know about our relationship. And so, i become the midman or whatever and lolz...follow them go dating lolz but then i am a 'lamppost' and must be one. And in case anyone asks who is he? Well, he's just my friend lolz...
I guess that's all i want to say. See, the girls have backup plans but do the guys have them? No...they dont and they act stupidly. I know not all of them are like so but then according to science. It's true. I read it from a book that guys act without thinking while girls does. Maybe you guys out there will deny about it but then, i wont say no. It's just my opinion or the way i think. That's all...

Who is Circe?
In Greek mythology, Circe or Kírkē (Greek Κίρκη, falcon), was a Queen goddess (or sometimes nymph or sorceress) living on the island of Aeaea.
Circe's father was Helios, the God of the Sun and the owner of the land where Odysseus' men ate cattle, and her mother was Perse, an Oceanid; she was sister of Aeetes, the king of Colchis and of Pasiphaë and Aga. Circe transformed her enemies, or those who offended her, into animals through the use of magical potions. She was renowned for her knowledge of drugs and herbs.
In Homer's Odyssey, her home Aeaea is described as a water mansion standing in the middle of a clearing in a dense wood. Around the house prowled lions and wolves, the drugged victims of her magic; they were not dangerous, and fawned on all newcomers. Circe worked at a huge loom. She invited Odysseus' crew to a feast, the food laced with one of her magical potions, and she turned them all into pigs with a wand after they gorged themselves on it. Only Eurylochus, suspecting treachery from the outset, escaped to warn Odysseus and the others who had stayed behind at the ships. Odysseus set out to rescue his men, but was intercepted by Hermes and told to procure some of the herb moly to protect him from the same fate. When her magic failed she was so astonished that he was unaffected that she fell in love with him and agreed to return his men to human form. For one year Odysseus and Circe were lovers. She later assisted him in his quest to reach his home.

Circe Offering the Cup to Odysseus, by John William Waterhouse.
According to Homer, she suggested to Odysseus two alternative routes to return to Ithaca: either toward the "Wandering Rocks" (possibly the pumiceous Lipari Islands; in the 13th-century Chinese travel notes of Chou Ju-kua they are called similarly), where King Aeolus reigned. Or, to pass between the dangerous Scylla and the whirlpool Charybdis, conventionally identified with the Strait of Messina.
Towards the end of Hesiod's Theogony (1011f) we find that Circe bore of Odysseus three sons: Agrius (otherwise unknown), Latinus, and Telegonus who ruled over the Tyrsenoi, that is the Etruscans.
Later poets generally only speak of Telegonus as Odysseus' son by Circe. When grown to manhood, later poets reported, she sent him to find Odysseus, who had long since returned to his home on Ithaca, but on arrival Telegonus accidentally killed his father. He brought the body back to Aeaea and took Odysseus' widow Penelope and son Telemachus with him. Circe made them immortal and married Telemachus, while Telegonus made Penelope his wife.
Dionysius of Halicarnassus (1.72.5) cites Xenagoras the historian as claiming that Odysseus and Circe had three sons: Romus, Anteias, and Ardeias who respectively founded three cities called by their names: Rome, Antium, and Ardea.
That Circe also purified the Argonauts for the death of Apsyrtus may be early tradition.
In later tales Circe turned Picus into a woodpecker for refusing her love, and Scylla into a monstrous creature with six dogs' heads when Glaucus (another object of Circe's affection) declared his undying love for her. She had one daughter: Aega.
In my case, Circe is someone else and not this Greek's Circe.
